Posted by David Fairthorne on Mon Aug 27 17:09:32 2007, in response to new school prayer, posted by monorail on Fri Aug 24 07:19:06 2007. Amen!I would be quite happy with the American state of affairs. Separation of church and state protects them from each other. Here in the Canadian province of Ontario we have two school systems: one for Catholics and one for non-Catholics. This has been condemned by the United Nations Human Rights Committee, on the grounds that it unfairly favors one particular faith. Now the provincial Conservative opposition leader (one Mr. Tory) is advocating public funding for schools of all faiths. Being a person with no religious affiliation, I resent having to contribute tax dollars to faith-based schools, and I would strongly protest against public funding of Islamic schools, given what little I know about Islam. The aim of Islamic militants is to restore the Caliphate, which was abolished by Kemal Ataturk after the Ottoman Empire was defeated in World War One and Turkey became a secular republic. The Caliphate aimed to convert the entire world to Islam, by force if necessary. |
